Frittata with Tomatoes, Onion and Basil
Here in Alabama, we might be in the middle of the hot and sticky dog days of summer… but the tomatoes and basil are perfect. This is just the time for a Frittata with Tomatoes, Onion and Basil; the challenge for Pomodori e Vino this week. 
If y’all have ever made a frittata… it is really simple. It is an open-faced Italian omelet. It is a base of eggs and whatever~ cooked slowly in a skillet, then finished under a broiler until it is firm.

In this recipe, 3 cups of onion are cooked until caramelized, and combined with tomatoes. Just before serving combine 5 eggs with tomato mixture, basil and cheese.
The result is a beautiful skilletfull of tomato and basil. It is best served warm out of the oven, and sliced into wedges. With some cantelope this makes a perfect brunch.
Ciao y’all,

I love frittate! Whenever I have leftover veggies I make one. This one, of course, looks delish!
This sounds great. I can’t wait to try it!
Sandi, your place setting is very inviting! I agree that a frittata makes the perfect brunch and this recipe looks delicious!
😀 Brava!
Ciao everyone,
I make frittata all the time. My husband
lovers peppers so I use both red & green. I have never used a broiler though-I turn mine over onto a dish or platter (depending on the size) and put it back into the same pan and finish cooking on the stove. My favorite is onions and potatoes.
Thanks.
Yes, Sandi, it is full of flavor if you caramelize the onion. Occasionally, on this blog, I have seen photos of presumably sauteed onion that was pearly white. That doesn’t do it.
I like it warm, but not hot right out of the oven, I like it to settle a little while letting the flavors emerge from the behind the veil of heat.
That looks great Sandi! I can’t wait to give this one a try.
“Ciao, y’all” says it all. Just the right spirit to make this blog such a pleasure to read. The perfect combination of amazing recipes and dedicated cooks/writers. Oh, and the frittata looks delicious.
